Facing Major Crossroads or Death & Rebirth Cycles

How we orient to our Dharma, and our Soul Journeys and how we distil wisdom from experience in our lives.

In this foundational episode of The Loom, we introduce two original tarot reading styles—Orientation and Stepping Through, as tools to deepen inner dialogue and navigate the cycles of life with greater coherence, intentionality, and presence.

Rather than treating tarot as superstition or fortune-telling, this episode presents it as a sophisticated language of meaning, bridging Logos (the rational structure of Reality) and Mythos (our inner symbolic world).

In light of that critical work, Tarot becomes an essential compass.

We explore how Orientation readings function like a spiritual navigation system, helping us locate ourselves within the larger arc of becoming.

Stepping Through readings, inspired by agile retrospectives, offer a framework for harvesting wisdom at the closure of a life chapter—distilling grief, celebrating wins, and informing new intention.

In this Episode, we explore:

* Why The Loom is distinct from other Tarot modalities —a rigorous system for self-guided initiation.

* How the Orientation reading creates a crux of fate & destiny to navigate moments of stuckness.

* How the Stepping Through reading offers a monthly or seasonal practice for personal growth and decision-making.

* Why tarot, understood properly, is a functional interface for internal coherence.

* The fusion of hermetics, archetype, agile methodology, and dharmic actualisation.
